The Watershed, Education, Science and Policy Lab is led by Dr. Kristine Stepenuck (she/her/hers). It is located within the Rubenstein School of Environment and Natural Resources and associated with both UVM Extension and Lake Champlain Sea Grant. Kris is also a Gund Institute for Environment Affiliate. Research of the lab follows two primary themes both of which relate to water resources. First is public participation in scientific research, which is also known as volunteer monitoring or participatory science. Second is environmental resource management and related community action, response and resilience. This aspect of our work often, though not always, focuses on the Lake Champlain basin.
